A Finished Basement Can Make a Great Rental Property

Challenge: The couple live in a house in Wilmington, Massachusetts, and are expecting their first child to arrive this January. The expansion of their family is not the reason they want their basement finished. Instead, they would like to use the home as a rental income property. A finished basement can greatly increase the value of a home, and the capital earned from the property could be an additional source of income for their family. 

Solution: To finish their basement, they wanted one large, finished space where the washer and dryer could be placed. We used our paintable wall system, a linen ceiling and two EverLast basement windows. We finished their stairs with an oak railing and carpeted steps, and finished the space with our Walnut colored Elite Plank Flooring.
